How to Make Importing a Cat Simple and Easy

If you’re new to breeding Pedigree Cats, you’ve probably determined that it’s rather challenging to find a breeder in the United States that will sell you a kitten for breeding. It appears that this phenomenon is changing, and the future seems to look more promising when it comes to acquiring our cats in the United States. Until then, you may find yourself researching facts about importing a cat.

Importing a cat from Europe into the United States can be a complex process, but with the right information and preparation, it can be done successfully.

Once you have determined the requirements for importing a cat from Europe into the United States, you will need to make sure that your cat is healthy and ready for travel. You’ll need a Passport for the cat, which has the health history and vaccinations documented.

Once your cat arrives in the United States, it will be inspected by a USDA official to ensure that it meets all of the import requirements. If everything is in order, your cat will be cleared for entry into the country.

Do I Need to Hire a Broker?

It is not always necessary to use a broker when importing a Pedigree cat from Europe into the United States, but it may make the process easier. A licensed broker who specializes in animals can help you navigate the requirements and paperwork for importing a cat into the United States.

However, if you are confident in your ability to handle the import process on your own, you can do it without a broker. In either case, you will need to comply with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) requirements for importing animals into the country. These requirements vary depending on the country of origin, so it’s important to check the specific requirements for importing a cat from Europe into the USA.

Additionally, check with the local jurisdiction where the cat will be entering the country. There could be specific rules about hiring a broker. Sometimes the amount that you paid for the cat is a factor. You can contact your customs office to find out their requirements.

Hong Long is the Flight from Russia to the United States?

The average flight time from Moscow, Russia to the United States is about 11 hours and 30 minutes. That, of course, is assuming no layovers or flight changes. To make it in that amount of time, the plane must be traveling at 500 miles per hour – since the distance is about 5,500 miles.

Due Diligence is Key

Couriers are also a big part of the process when importing. The video that is posted above has some tips for choosing different types of couriers for your cat.

Doing your research about the breeder and the rules of traveling will save your a lot of headaches. There are plenty of things that can go wrong, but if you know what to ask, then you’re better equipped to make a decision.
